The Eastern Shoshone Tribe will build a new hotel and add table games and 500 slot machines to its Shoshone Rose Casino located north of Lander, Wyoming.
The tribe approved borrowing $25 million to expand build a 65-room hotel that will include a conference center, swimming pool and an outdoor patio restaurant.
The loan is underwritten by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Minnesota, according to The Rivington Ranger.
The expansion will create about 90 construction jobs for the year-long project and about 130 permanent hotel and casino jobs for tribal members and the local community, Eastern Shoshone Business Council Chairman Darwin St. Clair Jr. told the Billings Gazette.
The construction project will begin in spring with completion scheduled in 2016, The Rivington Ranger reported.
